A Message from the CEO
Dear Avient Associates,
As part of a growing, global company, we are faced with challenging situations and complex decision making.
Bribes
may also include:
• Gifts, especially gifts that are expensive
• Entertainment, hospitality and travel where
there is no clear business purpose or they are
beyond reasonable business needs
• Personal services, favors or loans
• Charitable or political contributions
• Payments or benefits to or services for an
individual’s family members
• Providing payments or benefits or services to a
“facilitator,” including kickbacks
Remember that offering or requesting a bribe is
illegal in most countries—even if the transaction
never takes place.

representatives acting on Avient’s behalf do not offer or
